Good morning, Jonathan and thanks for reading.

I would caution everyone though, that calling Republicans a "Do-nothing" is a dangerous dismissal of their agenda, which is anything BUT "Do-nothing"

I would call your attention to the Right wing super majority of our Supreme Court, something Repugs worked feverishly toward for decades.

Their agenda is to replace majority rule with a narrow doctrine of religious-based dogma, the anti-abortion legislation raging across the country being one example.

The fact that they block all meaningful legislation is not an accident, it's what they do. Preventing regulation and any kind of interference with their donors' businesses is what they get paid for. Whether it's big pharma, energy, transportation, tobacco, the NRA or any of the major industries trying to avoid regulation, blocking any kind of legislation from going forward is actually a legislative win for them. They will do anything to move their backward, religious agenda forward, including standing by a criminal autocrat hell bent on being a dictator and keeping himself above the law.

The train derailment and destruction of the town of East Palestine, Ohio is an example of the danger of Republicans relentless deregulation. Their deliberate (and paid for) lying about climate change is an existential danger to the entire planet. They're not doing nothing, It would be a lot better if they were.
